Fishery management organizations

Fishery Management Organizations (FMOs) are groups that oversee and regulate fishing activities in specific regions or on certain species to ensure sustainable use of marine resources. They set rules on how many fish can be caught, establish fishing seasons, and implement conservation measures to prevent overfishing and protect ecosystems. These organizations often include governments, industry representatives, and environmental groups, working collaboratively to balance economic interests with ecological health. By managing fish stocks responsibly, FMOs aim to maintain healthy oceans, support fishing communities, and ensure fish populations remain viable for future generations.
